The heterotopic gastric cyst of the oral cavity is a rare lesion. A recurrent gastric cyst in the floor of the mouth of a young female patient is presented. Current theories dealing with the histogenesis of these lesions are presented and discussed. Based on the available embryologic and clinical in

β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
Background.
Myopericytoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of pericytic cells demonstrating myoid differentiation. The lesion typically arises within the subcutaneous tissue of the extremities. We report a case that, to the best of our knowledge, is the first case of myopericytoma involving the soft tissue of the oral cavity.
Methods.
A 36βyearβold woman had a 5βmm sessile, whitishβpink, firm tongue nodule. The patient underwent excisional biopsy, and histopathologic examination as well as immunohistochemical analysis were performed.
Results.
The differential diagnosis by histologic analysis included solitary fibrous tumor, myofibroma, glomus tumor, and myopericytoma. The results of immunohistochemical analysis, when combined with the histologic features, led to a diagnosis of myopericytoma.
Conclusions.
Applying strict morphologic criteria and appropriately selective immunohistochemical markers will help to distinguish myopericytoma in the oral cavity. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2007

## Abstract Pedicled tongue flaps (anterior, posterior, double) have proved to be an effective method of repairing defects due to tissue loss in the oral cavity. Their central position, mobility, and excellent blood supply make the use of these flaps feasible in a variety of sites.
